Shubham-Agarwal - PeerSpot reviewer
Fast query processing and easy-to-store all the data
There are very few companies that are using Exasol, but the majority of companies are using SQL Server, Cloud or IBM Db2 Database, or any other databases. Therefore, the resources are limited, which is my only concern. So if I face any issues, limited resources are available to help me resolve the issue with Exasol. From that perspective, it can be a bit of a struggle for me to find a solution. In the next release, I would like to see better compatibility issues. Currently, Exasol has limited compatibility with other software like Python and R. For example, If I talk about SQL Server, we can connect it to big data or Python, which is also compatible with different servers.

Processes query faster through multiple systems simultaneously, but it could support different data types
We use the solution for various tasks, including preparing data marts and generating offers. It helps extract data based on rules from the policy team and provides insights to enhance business operations. We also analyze transactions to target customers and improve business performance The…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Exasol is its speed."
"It is easy to scale."
"We mainly chose Exasol for its performance reasons."
"The solution is hands-off; you set it up insert your data and it self tunes queries."
"Performance is a top priority, and it excels in this aspect."
"The speed is very good compared to other databases, like SQL Server or Oracle."
"We can quickly scale the solution as it works on an MPP system."
"Its speed is great."
"The most valuable feature is Vertica's performance and the ease of using the database."
"The most valuable feature of Vertica is the ability to receive large aggregations at a very quick pace. The use case of subclusters is very good."
"I appreciate the flexibility offered by Vertica's projections. It allows for modifying the primary projection without altering the tables, which helps to optimize queries without the need to modify the underlying data."
"It maximizes cloud economics with Eon Mode by scaling cluster size to meet variable workload demands."
"It has improved my organization's functionality and performance."
"It's the fastest database I have ever tested. That's the most important feature of Vertica."
"The solution is quick, has good compression data, and is not expensive."
"The feature I like best is performance. We use Red Tool and Red Job for the data warehouse and reporting. It's perfect. Performance is good, and it can return ad hoc queries very quickly. Of course, it's a cluster, so it's easy to scale."
 

Cons

"You have to install Exasol drivers, and it's not easy to find or implement a driver into different systems."
"It would be beneficial if the updates would occur more often."
"They don't talk very well to with other products when it comes to connectivity. Integration is lacking."
"There are limited resources available to help me resolve the issue with Exasol."
"They should improve the security features for MPP processing."
"Lacks a cloud-based platform."
"It's not cloud-native so many maintenance operations require downtime."
"The only area where we found it could improve was in custom role creation and security, and it was difficult to work with."
"Vertica seems to scale well, except for one use case where you are on a multi-node cluster. For example, if you had a nine-node cluster, one node goes down, then the eight nodes don't scale, because the absence of the node is very apparent, which is a problem. If you have nine nodes or multiple nodes, the whole idea is that if one of those nodes goes down, then you should not see an impact on the system if you have enough capacity. Even though we have enough capacity, you can still see the impact of the one node going down."
"The integration with AI has room for improvement."
"They could improve on customer service."
"Very bad support, I would rate it two out of 10."
"Monitoring tools need to be lightweight. They should not take up heavy resources of the main server."
"The biggest problem is the cost of cloud deployment."
"I think they need an easy client so that you can write queries easily, but it's not necessarily a weak point. I think some users would need them."
"Some of our small to medium-sized customers would like to see containerization and flexibility from the deployment standpoint."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's cost is mid-ranged."
"The pricing depends on the license model because there are several. It depends on the client, but it's cheaper than other solutions. I think it's cheap for all the functionality and robustness. It's not very expensive to deploy."
"Read the fine print carefully."
"I am aware that we have licensed it, but I have no knowledge of its cost."
"The pricing for this solution is very reasonable compared to other vendors."
"The pricing and licensing depend on the size of your environment and the zone where you want to implement."
"The pricing could improve, it is a little expensive."
"The solution is free and we pay for the storage."
"It's an expensive product"
